Summary

In a Fox News interview, Elon Musk and Sean Hannity repeatedly talked over Donald Trump, sidelining him in a discussion about government efficiency.

Musk dominated the conversation, warning of national bankruptcy and presenting himself as a savior.

Hannity largely directed questions to Musk, while Trump struggled to interject.

The awkward exchange fueled speculation about Musk’s influence, with some questioning who is really in charge.

    Hell, where the fuck is Trump?

    Granted, I am absolutely not seeking him out, but it felt like he was everywhere in his first term with his stupid idiot rambling speeches.

    But this round it’s all DOGE and Musk and maybe, something more vague about what the “Trump Administration” is doing, but it feels like Trump isn’t even around.

    Hell, the other day I was wondering if he had died of a heart attack or something but they were just keeping the body locked up and pretending he was alive while Musk destroys the country.

      Oh, he’s everywhere… He’s been giving almost daily speeches or interviews. This week he went to the Daytona 500, gave an unhinged speech full of Russian talking points about Ukraine, grimaced through a very weird pair interview with president Musk where he kissed Musk’s ass through gritted teeth, went golfing, and did a press event about how only he can interpret the law now. Today he said he’s going to fort Knox to “make sure the gold is there”

      He’s on the camera so much so that it’s obvious he’s a puppet at this point - he doesn’t have the unaccounted for time to be getting briefs and making day to day decisions. They put him at the kiddie table and are keeping him occupied with events

      If you’re not seeing it, it’s probably censorship. They’re having trouble editing together coherent sound bites, it seems like he’s regressing. He keeps talking about real estate - he’s going to make Gaza a resort, he’s talking about what they can rebuild in Ukraine, he’s talking about how he needs Musk because contractors give him a mock up and then get caught up in securing financing or something…
